I'd probably c/c down, without checking stove I'd expect we aren't in good enough shape here to c/r.

If we give villain a 3bet range of 15%, we're a little less than 50/50 on the flop - so we're probably way ahead/way behind. I think c/c down is fine. Also, we can get away from our hand without having to put too much more into the pot if unfavorable cards come on turn/river.

However, villain is probably going to cbet his entire 3bet range in this spot, so I'd be curious to see what others think.

i think you are 99.9% correct. i would also c/c down without a K or J on turn.
i would like to hear from some who think a fold is not awful here due to the 3 bet and we are only 50% now and he has position and a chance to improve to better than us if not already there.

I think you need to see the river, then decide. A lot of opponents will bet twice w AK, AJ, AT, etc then shut down on the river unimproved. Against these types of opponents, folding a blank river is probably correct. This is a really important read in my opinion.

I can see folding a K turn, but is probably about the only turn I'm folding.

xc xc x-something seems fine, but this certainly isn't a WA/WB spot.

Can we X/R the flop? Or is that an awful play?

As stated above we have less than 50% equity on this board, so if we check raise it isn't for value.

what is your image?

Saying btn range is 15% seems quite "feeling" thing

I would consider folding just if turn and river were two broadways (two of T,J,K)

Also from a balance stand point this should be in our c/c range otherwise our c/c range becomes to weak.

+1 on everything Slide said except I probably would still c/c a K and then make a river decision.
